Question 1

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant. Two days ago, we had a scan done, which was normal, and other blood tests were prescribed by the doctor. One particular test, Hb electrophoresis, shows abnormal readings (report attached). After seeing the results, the doctor said the reports were wrong and asked us to meet the lab technician. However, the lab technician and pathology doctor insist the reports are correct and advised us to consult the doctor again. The doctor has not provided any clear explanation and seems confused by the report.

Can someone please help us understand these results? We are worried about the abnormal readings.

Question 2

I am 18 weeks pregnant. The placenta is on the right lateral wall of the uterus and is low lying, with the edge covering the internal os. I have bleeding every day (one teaspoon maximum) and sometimes a little watery discharge without touching undergarments. I am regularly consulting with my doctor, who suggests bed rest and prescribed medicines. My hemoglobin was 10.8 as per the 13 week test report. Can continuous bleeding affect the mother and baby? Is this condition curable?

Question 5

Dear Doctor, My wife has been suffering from typhoid for the past month. Allopathic medicines did not work, so she started Ayurvedic treatment one week ago. For the past week, she has been consuming mostly water and fruit juice, but I have not noticed much improvement. She has small pearl like bumps on her neck and arms, some are reducing while new ones are appearing. She also has persistent back pain and is feeling very hungry, as she cannot continue fasting. Additionally, she is now pregnant (last period was 19th May, home pregnancy test positive). Her hemoglobin is low at 8, weight is 45 kg, and height is 5.2. My questions are:
What medicines can she safely take alongside Ayurvedic treatment so that the pregnancy is not affected?
What should her diet include now to help recover from typhoid while ensuring safety for her pregnancy?
